The problem of adapting older noisy aircraft to more stringent noise legislation is discussed. The use of bolt-on hushkits as a means of quieting older aircraft is criticized. Further noise restrictions demand a truly re-engined aircraft. It is predicted that hushkit equipped planes will experience increasing difficulty when operating in noise sensitive airports. The author admits that Rolls Royce has a commercial interest in recommending that older planes be re-engined with stage three turbo fan engines.
